The author states: "My purpose in writing this book has been to provide a Technical Encyclopedia and Who's Who. The purpose of the Technical Encyclopedia is to provide a basic description of most known effects and routines and, where feasible, briefly describe the technique involved. I have also tried to provide comprehensive bibliographic references to guide the reader to further information. The Who's Who is meant to give an overview of performers and creators of magic past and present."
